I just had one of the craziest games ever. I chose to play a wizard, at around dungeon level 3 I've acquired some pretty good stuff and lots of food. Suddenly, I trigger a magic trap, it blinds me and a few jackals and some other monster attempt to kill me, I easily force bolt them all to death, getting me to level 5. I go down to dungeon level 5 and there I level up once again, I go down another level. Here I walk down a long (about 15 tile) corridor, and discover an army of 12 Mordor waiting for me at the exit. I force bolted those to death too. Next I enter a room, there are about 15 Uruk Hai. I quickly leave while my cat soaks up their hits and dies. While trying to around the Uruk Hai room three ants run up to me and kill me. Its like the game wanted me to loose!

Edit: Another thing, I heard the word finagle today and didn't know what it was, but I thought it would make a nice name for my cat. I named him Finagle and then looked the word up (It means swindle). Finagle then ran towards a shop, and came back with an orange potion (The one the shop keeper had in stock).

I love Nethack!

...although it lacks in combat compared to DF Adventure mode.
